Grandparents

Grandmother and Grandpa were able to come down the day Hadassah was born!
It was their first visit to Fort Lauderdale, so we enjoyed showing them our home and introducing them to their new granddaughter!

Grandma and PaPa arrived Monday evening!












They have been here for the week and been an amazing help! Corban and Abigail are certain that they came just to see them, and are having a great time keeping busy with fun activities each day (I'll share pictures of their adventures soon).





Chris has been working while Mom and Dad are here and will take some time off next week. I have really appreciated the restful, quiet time that I have gotten with Hadassah!

And now 3 days...

As I've been working on the blog today, I've only gotten through pictures from the day Hadassah was born!
Reminded me of this scene from the movie Enchanted:
Robert: How long you been together?
Giselle: Oh, about a day.
R: You mean it feels like a day because you're so in love.
G: No, it's been a day.
R: You're kidding me. A day? One day?
G: Yes. And tomorrow it will be two days.

Here's one more from March 20th!

I am completely in love!

Hadassah Pearl

Hadassah is from the biblical book of Esther, whose real name is Hadassah. 2:7 says that Hadassah was

a young lady beautiful of form and face.

She was a woman of character and courage who became queen and saved her people from destruction.
And in God's perfect timing, March 20, 2011 was Purim (the celebration of that deliverance written about in chapter 9)!
The week before with Corban and Abigail, we read the story of Esther, went to a Purim story and craft time (they made noise-makers--just what this house needed!!), watched the VeggieTales movie, did color/activity pages and made hamantaschen cookies!

Pearl is my Grandma's middle name
(and was her mom's first name).
Granny is 86 years old and hand-stitched and hand-quilted this beautiful baby blanket for Hadassah!
